They are made in a flesh colour, of a new weave, which enables the appliance to go unnoticed under modern silk hosiery. Being more closely woven, they are much stronger, although not as thick at the old kind. These are specially recommended as the most suitable elastic stocking, and you will be surprised with the comfort and support they give. Although much superior to the ola variety, they cost no more, as we Imported them direct from the factory ?n England. Call and inspect. All sixes in stock. Also full stocks of elastic caps and ankletE. E, C. Ayres, chemlit. Timaru. .. SAVES FREIGHTS AND FEVERS. Why pay for overseas freight?
